In this sample, you learn how to ingest a group of videos as low priority ingest jobs.

Introduction

This sample app loops over a data set to ingest a group of videos using the low priority ingest queue. Using this queue means that the videos will take longer to process, but the advantage of using it is that you do not have to worry about the limitation on the number of job currently processing (for the normal priority queue, that limit is 100 jobs). If you are adding or migrating a large number of videos to your account and can wait a day or so for them to be available, this is a good option. See Dynamic Delivery Ingest Priority Queueing for more details.

Limitations

Dynamic Ingest does not have a mechanism for processing multiple videos - this sample simply executes a loop to make a Dynamic Ingest request for each video.

The low priority queue is only available for Dynamic Delivery accounts. If your account is still using the legacy ingest system, you cannot use this app.

Getting Credentials

Proxy code

In order to build your own version the sample app on this page, you must create and host your own proxy. (The proxies used by Brightcove Learning Services only accept requests from Brightcove domains.) A sample proxy, very similar to the one we use, but without the checks that block requests from non-Brightcove domains, can be found in this GitHub respository. You will also find basic instructions for using it there, and a more elaborate guide to building apps around the proxy in Using the REST APIs.
